2018 ABMP School Forum Schedule Released

Join us for the 2018 ABMP School Forum at the historic Brown Palace hotel in Denver, Colorado! Since 1997, the ABMP School Forums have brought together the brightest minds in bodywork education to share ideas that shape the future of massage therapy.
 
The 2018 schedule is based on your feedback, and includes more opportunities for sharing and collaboration, additional tracks for managers and educators, and topics that address your reported pain points, including:

  • "Good Questions: How to Think About the Future of Massage Education" with Les Sweeney
  • Manager Focus: "School Operations—Pooling Our Best Ideas" with Kristin Coverly
  • Education Focus: "Improving Student Outcomes Through Well-Written Rubrics" with Anne Williams

Remember, this is the only ABMP School Forum of 2018, so don't miss your chance to join top educators from around the country to share ideas that shape the future of our profession. What can you share that will stimulate progress? What advances are working in your classrooms? How are you empowering the next generation of massage professionals? Join the conversation and lead the change. We need your voice. If you are a school owner, director, admissions representative, instructor, career services counselor, or curriculum designer—this is your conference!
